Chapter 879 Am I not already the chief insider of the alliance?
Duncan finally spoke up, and said in an extremely indifferent tone: "Really? Then I want to see what you are capable of."
On the next ball, Duncan used his low post support ability to allow the Spurs to easily score a layup. Although Duncan no longer has the scoring ability he had at his peak, his understanding of the basketball court is a bit better than before.
.So he became a full-time defensive cornerstone in the Spurs, and he is used as a key cog in the team.
54-51, the Spurs are still 3 points behind the Lakers.
When the Lakers attack, the basketball is still given to the inside as before. This is also an "unspoken rule" in the NBA. Whoever has hot hands can have continuous shooting rights. At least Tang Qian proved in this game that he can
Duncan maintains a high-energy attack under single defense, so it is reasonable to give this ball to him.
After all, apart from Kobe, no one else on the Lakers team has as much desire to attack as No. 29.
"Come on, Dongfang boy, let me see how good you are." Duncan stood on the edge of the paint area, looked at Tang Qian who was holding the ball at a 45-degree angle in the low post, and said softly. Although the words were not serious, he could clearly feel it.
, the defensive momentum of the "old man" in front of him has improved. Not just a little bit.
It should be that he broke into "Defense The.Zone".
It’s not surprising. Duncan is the No. 1 PF in NBA history and is a sure-fire top ten player in history. It’s impossible for him to be beaten so hard without any reaction. He is sometimes “facially paralyzed” and “mostly silent”, but
, this is just a matter of his playing style and personality, not that he is No. 21 of the Holy City and is such a "nice gentleman".
To put it bluntly, apart from Chamberlain, who is a physical superman, a "good guy" and a "player" in nature, which of the other historical players is the real "good guy"? They are all powerful men of a certain era, a certain
The overlord of the era, Tim Duncan, was naturally the same. After being hit by Tang Qian with the ball continuously, he finally got a little "angry".
He wants to contain this young man, suppress this No. 29, and let the other party know what "tenderness" means!
But... what surprised Duncan a little was that the Dongfang center standing on the opposite side did not look serious at all. His expression was the same as before, and it was still the same now. It was just like... Tim Duncan was not in good condition.
Like an explosion.
Your mental quality and momentum are quite good, but they won't help you score goals directly.
"I'll let you know, Tim." Tang Qian looked at the Spurs No. 21 who had entered the "Defensive The. Zone" and smiled slightly: "Please take a good look at my level." After that,
, he just stepped forward with his shoulders down, then stepped on his foot, and directly faced the basket and beat the ball. Duncan showed no weakness in this ball. After entering the "Defensive The.Zone", he still defended with strength.
Once again, he was a lot taller, and with his rich experience, he suddenly got stuck and had to face-to-face physical relief and physical confrontation with Tang Qian.
However, Duncan underestimated the current Tang Qian. The force knocked him back a bit. However, he was very resilient. He took a breath and lifted it up again in an instant.
As expected of Tim Duncan, he is still so strong defensively at the age of 38. At the age of 39, he is still an offensive and defensive player in three teams and two defenses. This is really no joke. Of course, this offensive and defensive player is undoubtedly compared to his own peak.
It's a bit worth mentioning.
But, is this enough to defend me? Tim Duncan, you underestimate me now.
You don't give me enough of a threat right now.
In other words, this ball is enough for me to suppress your defense on the offensive end.
"Fang attacked again, and Duncan was still one-on-one with him in the low post. Can he continue his previous magic? The ball broke through very quickly, but Duncan was not slow either. He successfully delayed Fang's breakthrough momentum.
The momentum has been contained, what will the Football Club choose to do? Should they consider passing the ball? No, this, he, he jumped up???" Bill McDonald's voice was surprised, defender Duncan
, isn't it? According to normal circumstances, the momentum of this ball has been delayed by him. Generally speaking, it is correct to choose to stop the ball or adjust. This guy actually has no intention of stopping at all, and directly hits the ball.
It bounced? This ball was too forced. If it bounced forcibly, it would probably... What, what???
He still has such explosive power???
Why was Stoudemire so invincible against the basket when he was with the Suns? His superhuman explosive power and explosive power after confrontation are both "devil level". Griffin is already a representative of violence against the basket in this era, right?
, but his hard kills in a game are still less than Stoudemire of that era. Even his most talked about dunks are at most one length less than Stoudemire. This is the norm.
In fact, the game is not outstanding enough. Looking at the fierce competition in the playoffs, Griffin's highest number of dunks in a single season can only be ranked fourth in Stoudemire's playoff career!!!
This is just a simple dunk, there are also direct confrontation layups and shots under the basket without calculation, otherwise the gap will only become more obvious.
Fortunately, the league has been around for so many years. He is the only one who can hit the basket to the level of Stoudemire. In addition, facing the basket is not the most important way for inside players to shoot, so Duncan has not tried it for a long time.
I have experienced this feeling before.
A situation where someone directly and forcefully tackles someone, and then after a confrontation, they forcefully dunk.
boom!
Tang Qian smashed the orange basketball into the Spurs' basket with one hand. Looking at him, he looked quite domineering and violent.
"How is it? How good is it? Tim?" Facing Tang Qian's question, Duncan's eyes shrank a bit, but he still didn't show any emotion on the surface. He just turned his head and threw himself into the Spurs' offense.
Tang Qian looked at Duncan's back, couldn't help but smile, and started running back into the Lakers' penalty area.
The Spurs missed the shot. Although Leonard used the pick-and-roll, Kobe's defense caught up in time, giving the former some defensive interference. When the basketball slipped out of the basket, there was nothing to say about the low rebound.
It was still a defensive rebound, so Tang Qian grabbed it and threw it directly to Kobe.
Kobe didn't stop the ball at all and went straight into the Spurs' half. The Spurs quickly defended and managed to barely prevent the Lakers' counterattack. However, the basketball was once again lost to Tang Qian's hands. Once again, Duncan formed
One-on-one with Tang Qian's inside line.
Popovich did not change his lineup because he has innate trust and trust in the Spurs' No. 21.
After so many years, so many situations, so many situations, there are only a handful of things that can really make that "Stone Buddha" unable to withstand it.
So he doesn't believe that the Lakers' No. 29 can last until the end.
This mistake, when Popovich later recalled the game, seemed to have said that one of his biggest mistakes in the series was to let Duncan use too many individual defenses in front of him. At the time, he believed that Duncan was enough to defend him.
Well, it turned out later that the Oriental was not something Duncan could restrain at all.
In that series, he was an attacker enough to affect the entire team's defense. He woke up to this too late.
"Feng faced Duncan again, in the low post, in singles, or one-on-one. What would he do? He would still attack with the ball in front of the basket. The start of his ball was somewhat judged by Duncan, which was the best position to attack.
No, if I had to make a shot, would it go in? Oh~ It’s a pity that I missed the shot a little, and I couldn’t make the shot.”
Duncan spent a lot of energy and attention on this ball, and finally blocked Tang Qian's face-to-face basket ball, but just when he relaxed a little, a huge purple and gold figure rose up from the ground again, and hit him with a handful.
He grabbed the offensive rebound on his head, and then... held the ball behind his head with both hands, slightly arched his knees, and blasted it into the Spurs' basket.
boom!!!
"Ah~ha~ dunk!!! Tong grabbed the offensive rebound!!! Then he attacked twice and scored with a violent dunk!!!" Bill McDonald couldn't help shouting: "Have you seen it? Tyrant Tong Jin
Wan is not only present on the defensive end, he is also awake on the offensive end!"
"This guy's dunks are really powerful. I like to watch this kind of domineering Gorilla King Kong dunk!" Stu Lantz also said: "Except for Howard, all interior dunks in the league are weak.
That's interesting. How can you still have the momentum of being a dominant player under the basket? It's great to play like this!"
"Just be careful and don't get hurt. That'll be fine."
"Injuries are the biggest enemy for professional athletes."
58-51, the score difference widened to 7 points again.
"Tim, if you were in your prime, it would be okay. Now..." Tang Qian turned around and said to Duncan: "You are old, it's time to make way for me."
"I'm no longer the chief insider of the alliance. It's not right for you to tell me." Duncan's words made Tang Qian look back and smile: "I know, because the chief insider is already me, isn't it?"
This may sound a bit arrogant, but if you think about it carefully, isn’t it?
This season Tang Qian has already won a first defense + DPOY + All-Star starter + All-Star MVP + Rebounding leader + Blocked shots leader. Do you still dare to say that he is not the number one insider in the league? In the past, everyone still subconsciously thought that Dwight.
Howard is still the number one center in the league. After all, he is still in his golden age, still 28 to 29 years old. Coupled with the rendering of some "advanced keyboard warriors" on ESPN, no one really realized that the number one insider in the league is invisible.
During this time, people have been quietly replaced.
It was replaced by No. 29 of the Lakers.
Otherwise, do you think Howard's honor this season is enough to compare with Tang Qian?
Compared to his career, he has no problem overpowering Tang Qian now, but compared to now, he has been steadily overtaken by the latter.
There is no suspense at all.
In addition to the ultimate honor, Tang Qian has basically won most of the personal honors this season. Therefore, it is not arrogant and false for him to say that he is the league's number one center. He is not, is he still the "happy beast" of Howard?
"?
This is also the first time Tang Qian has publicly told people that he is the league's number one center, not the so-called number one blue collar player in the league.
The Spurs and Lakers each played several rounds of "kite ball", but neither of them made it into the basket. Tang Qian also missed a shot, as if everything was going to be back on track. But Popovich was not happy for a few minutes, that
Dongfang No. 29 actually scored again.
Scored inside again.
Scored under Tim Duncan's one-on-one defense.
This, could it be that his state tonight is the state of "eating big dumplings" and "eating big cakes"???
Otherwise, this would be too exaggerated to last for so long???
How did Popovich know that Tang Qian was not "eating big dumplings" or "eating big cakes"? One game was not enough. The entire series would be his classic performance stage. After the third quarter, the Lakers
Looking at the score, the team is already 9 points ahead of the Spurs.
69-60, this is because the Spurs scored two consecutive three-pointers in the end.
For this reason, Meeks, who lost the ball, was scolded and scolded by Mike D'Antoni as soon as he came off the field.
After finishing scolding Meeks, D'Antoni started watching the game again, looking at Lakers No. 29 and No. 24 and said: "Bryant, you guys, are you really ready to make a comeback?" This
Having said that, D'Antoni himself feels extremely weak, because this is a situation that has not happened in the history of the NBA for nearly 70 years. At least since he came into contact with the NBA, falling behind 0-3 in the series means that the game is over.
Therefore, even though he was leading now and might win two games in a row, he still felt a little unconvinced.
In other words, I don’t have much confidence.
Kobe and Tang Qian looked at each other, and then said at the same time: "Of course, sir, do you need to say this?"
"Didn't we say this before? We will not lose, we will win, and we will do it."
"But..." Seeing that D'Antoni was still a little hesitant, Tang Qian took the lead and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, don't forget, basketball is also round, so anything can happen. When we win,
In this game, you should also cheer up the team and give some advice, right? Always playing catch-up is not what a coach of the year should do."
The best coach of the year??? I, yes, I am the best coach of the year this season???
D'Antoni was also stunned when he heard this.
"Okay, it's rest time, it's time to clean up." Tang Qian looked at Kobe and suddenly showed a slightly "provocative" smile and said: "Bryant, we have agreed on this game. If the Spurs insist on
If you defend one inside, I will still be the main attacker. Don’t go back on your word."
"Don't worry, no." Kobe replied.
"I scored more than you tonight, won't you regret it?" Tang Qian continued to smile.
"Let's talk if you can do it." Kobe replied: "And, now, I just want to win."
"If you can give us a chance to win, I will let you fight!"
"That's it."
